The station building was constructed by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1907 at a cost of $14,911 (equivalent to $487,590 in 2023 adjusted for inflation). During the early 19th century, the station served as a gathering place for one of the social occasions of the small town, the meeting of the Sunday afternoon train.[2]
The last train service to utilize the station was Amtrak's Gulf Breeze, which stopped in Evergreen during its run from 1989 to 1995.
