    Wabasha is a city in Wabasha County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 2,599 at the 2000 census. Located on the Mississippi River near its confluence with the Chippewa River, it is the county seat of Wabasha County. Wabasha was the setting of the movies Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. Upon entering Wabasha you will see a sign reading "Welcome to Wabasha, Home of Grumpy Old Men". This is a tribute to the movie "Grumpy Old Men" (1993) and its 1995 sequel "Grumpier Old Men", written by Mark Steven Johnson about his grandfather, Wabasha native Charles Gilbert. Though many of the places mentioned in the movie (such as the local VFW and Slippery's Tavern) can be found in Wabasha, most location shots actually were filmed in other Minnesota communities. The only scene filmed near Wabasha was the "snow angel" scene, filmed in nearby Red Wing. Wabasha is the location of the National Eagle Center.
