How Crowded Is Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in January?

January runs about 0.4× Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural 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 850 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

It is the quietest month of the year at Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural; by contrast June, 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 77/100 ("Excellent") — the single best-rated month at Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural, balancing crowds against daylight.

Because June, July and August together draw about 35% 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 9.2 hours of daylight in January to explore — between the 8.8-hour midwinter low and the 15.1-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 26,787 recreation visits, down 11.1% from 30,141 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 17.5%, so January may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
