Charlie's Legend

Some stories are forgotten. Some refuse to stay that way. Find the posters, follow the clues, and discover what happened to Charlie.

Have You Found Charlie? Six chapters. Six posters. One legend hidden around the Machine Shop.

The Machine Shop

Where railroad history, industrial craftsmanship, and a little mystery come together under one historic roof.

Real History. Haunted Legend. The history below is real. Charlie's Legend is a fictional story created for the Evanston Haunted Market.

The Evanston Machine Shop is a historic 17,000-square-foot brick building at 1440 Main Street, Evanston, Wyoming. Built in 1912–1913 by Union Pacific Railroad, it was part of a 27-acre railroad complex northwest of downtown and was built to repair steam locomotives and railcars.

A Railroad Legacy

The Machine Shop's massive industrial character and railroad history make it a fitting home for a market built around makers, craftsmanship, and a little Halloween mystery.

A New Life

Today the historic building serves as a community event and convention space and provides the setting for the Evanston Haunted Market.

Come Find Your Own Adventure.

Explore the vendors. Challenge your friends. Find Charlie. And maybe take home something you didn't expect.
