About This Cause

The National Eagle Center is a world-class interpretive center located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Wabasha, MN. We are home to non-releasable bald and eagles. During a visit to the National Eagle Center, you can experience these magnificent creatures up close. The Upper Mississippi River Valley is home to hundreds of bald eagles. Many choose to build their nests in the tall trees along the river valley. Hundreds more bald eagles arrive here in the winter months, as the Mississippi River remains open around Wabasha year-round. In 1995, we began as EagleWatch, Inc. (corporate legal name) as a group of volunteers sharing with visitors to Wabasha views of wintering bald eagles from an outdoor observation deck along the river. In 1999, we opened year-round in a small storefront downtown and welcomed our first two Eagle Ambassadors, Harriet and Angel. In 2007, we opened our current 15,000 square foot riverfront facility in a partnership with the City of Wabasha. The National Eagle Center welcomes over 45,000 visitors from around the world each year and engages in educational outreach with live eagles to schools, the VA, civic events, and more throughout the year and is currently working to further develop and grow our online educational presence. Eaglewatch, Inc. dba National Eagle Center is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.
