Our little river town is getting some well-deserved national attention! Worldatlas.com has named the City of Wabasha, MN one of Minnesota’s most walkable downtowns! 👟🍂

We love seeing Wabasha recognized for the things that make our community such a special place to live, work, visit and wander!

🌊 The Mississippi River
🏘️ A historic downtown filled with small-town charm
🦅 The Eagle Capital of America
🎬 A little Grumpy Old Men fame
🍽️ Local restaurants, shops & businesses
❤️ And a community we’re incredibly proud to call home!
Thank you to Midwest Small Town – Telling the Story of Small Town U.S.A. for stopping by, exploring Wabasha and sharing our story!
