How Crowded Is Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument in September?

September runs about 1.3× Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument's average month, which makes it a busy month here — roughly 11% of the park's yearly visitors come in September.

In a typical September the park sees about 390 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 2024 to 2025.

That makes September the 3rd-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the June peak (2.4×) and the January low (0.3×).

On our Best Time to Visit score September rates 62/100 ("Good"), versus the top-rated October at 76/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical September weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 87°F and an overnight low around 64°F, with about 3.1" of precipitation.

That average of about 75°F is warm enough that midday heat is worth planning around.

Because June, July and August together draw about 45% of annual visitors, choosing September instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 12.2 hours of daylight in September to explore — between the 9.7-hour midwinter low and the 14.3-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 3,763 recreation visits, up 7.1% from 3,513 in 2024.
