How Crowded Is President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site in August?

August runs about 1.3× President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a busy month here — roughly 11% of the park's yearly visitors come in August.

In a typical August the park sees about 910 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 2011 to 2025.

That makes August the 4th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (1.7×) and the January low (0.4×).

On our Best Time to Visit score August rates 49/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated September at 66/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical August weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 93°F and an overnight low around 70°F, with about 3.5" of precipitation.

That average of about 81°F is warm enough that midday heat is worth planning around.

August falls inside the park's busiest stretch: June, July and August together pull about 36% of the year's visitors, so a visit this month means sharing the park with the peak-season crowd.

You'll have about 13.3 hours of daylight in August to explore — between the 9.8-hour midwinter low and the 14.2-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 6,215 recreation visits, up 23.7% from 5,024 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 37.1%, so August may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
