I’ve always been fascinated by old things, especially those with a story behind them. So, when I heard about this so-called “Barton Horse Gate”, I just had to check it out. I mean, who doesn’t love a good historical mystery, right?
First off, I did some digging online. Turns out, this Charlie Barton guy is some kind of artist, makes these prints on masonite, silk screen stuff. He’s from Baltimore, and his parents were architects. That’s cool, I guess. But what really got me hooked was this old gate, the Barton Horse Gate. Supposedly, it was this grand entrance for horse carriages back in the day. Sturdy, historical, the whole nine yards.
So, I packed my bag, grabbed my camera, and headed out. When I finally got there, I was not disappointed. The gate was massive, you could tell it had seen some years. I started snapping pictures like crazy, trying to capture every little detail. I imagined all the fancy carriages that must have passed through there, the people dressed up in their old-timey clothes. It was like stepping back in time.
I spent a good few hours just exploring the area, taking it all in. I even found some old paintings online by this Charlie Barton fella, seemed like he was inspired by this place too. It’s amazing how a place can stick with you like that, inspire you to create.
Later, I stumbled upon something about a video, some Russian pop star or something, using a similar gate, probably inspired by this one. Funny how things connect like that. And this Barton guy, he’s had his work shown in galleries, even had a piece featured in a Robbie Williams video. Not bad for a local artist.

- Packed my stuff and went to see the gate in person.
- Took tons of photos, soaked up the historical vibe.

All in all, it was a pretty cool experience. I love how you can find these hidden gems from the past, and how they continue to inspire people today. This Barton Horse Gate, it’s not just some old gate. It’s a piece of history, a source of inspiration, a reminder of the way things used to be. And this Charlie Barton guy, he’s doing a pretty good job of keeping that history alive through his art. I will give him that.
