🚶♀️🎉 Worldatlas.com has officially named the City of Wabasha, MN Minnesota’s Most Walkable Downtown!
As Minnesota’s oldest town, Wabasha has been welcoming visitors since 1826, and today our historic river town is perfectly designed for exploring on foot. Stroll through the Wabasha Commercial Historic District, where more than 50 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and wander into charming neighborhoods like Hungry Point and the West Side—all without moving your car.
Start your walk at the iconic The Anderson House Hotel, Minnesota’s oldest hotel, and grab a bite or a craft cocktail at The Lost Dutchman. From there, it’s an easy walk to the world-famous National Eagle Center, where bald eagles soar year-round along the Mississippi River—earning our county the title Eagle Capital of America.
Just minutes away, you’ll find architectural beauty at Grace Memorial Episcopal Church, home to a stunning Tiffany Studios stained glass window, and plenty of spots to refuel, including the ever-popular The Olde Triangle Pub, right on Main Street.
Wabasha’s walkability really shines during festival season too—whether it’s winter fun at the Grumpy Old Men Festival, summer celebrations during Wabasha Riverboat Days, or fall color and autumn vibes at SeptOberfest. Park once, explore all day, and soak in the sights, sounds, and stories that make our downtown so special.
Being named Minnesota’s Most Walkable Downtown just confirms what we already know—Wabasha is best experienced step by step. 👟💙

🚗 Need DMV services close to home? Wabasha DMV has you covered.
From title transfers to license tab renewals, they offer convenient DMV services right here in the area—saving you time and extra travel.
⏰ When is their busiest time?
The first and last week of the month see the most traffic, and February is their busiest month of the year.
📅 Why February is especially busy:
• One-Ton vehicle renewals
• Trailer renewals
• Motorcycle renewals
• Farm class renewals
🚓 Heads up for this year:
This February will be busier than last year because tax-exempt vehicles renew every other year, and those tabs are due now.
💡 Pro tip: If you’re flexible, visiting mid-month or mid-week can mean shorter wait times!
