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

January runs about 0.4× President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a very quiet month here — roughly 3% of the park's yearly visitors come in January.

In a typical January the park sees about 250 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 2011 to 2025.

It is the quietest month of the year at President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home; by contrast July, the busiest, runs about 1.7× the average — so January is the easiest time to have the place largely to yourself.

On our Best Time to Visit score January rates 51/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated September at 66/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical January weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 53°F and an overnight low around 32°F, with about 4.3" of precipitation and roughly 1" of snow.

That average of about 42°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

Because June, July and August together draw about 36% of annual visitors, choosing January instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 10 hours of daylight in January to explore — near the year-round minimum.

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 January may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
