Berlin Wall Segments Arrive in Arkansas for National Cold War Center
The National Cold War Center in Blytheville has acquired 36 original segments of the Berlin Wall.
A press release states that the arrival marks a major milestone in the development of the center and its mission to preserve and interpret one of the most consequential periods in modern history. The center, located at the former Eaker Air Force Base, was designated in 2023 by Congress as the nation’s official museum dedicated to the Cold War.
Together, the segments will form the largest publicly viewable collection of Berlin Wall segments outside Berlin. The segments arrived in Arkansas from Germany on May 13.
“This is a defining moment for the National Cold War Center,” said Christian Ostermann, executive director. “These are not replicas — these are original pieces of history that once divided the world. Preserving and interpreting the Berlin Wall at this scale positions the center as an important institution for understanding the Cold War and its lasting impact on the world today.”
The Berlin Wall stood for nearly three decades as a physical symbol of global political and ideological division during the Cold War. By preserving and presenting these original artifacts, the National Cold War Center will offer visitors a rare opportunity to experience the physical presence of the Wall while exploring the global events, tensions and decisions that shaped the modern world, according to the release.
Eaker Air Force Base was a Strategic Air Command Ready Alert installation during the Cold War era, and the National Cold War Center is being developed to educate and engage the public through immersive experiences, research and access to original historic assets.
The full collection will be publicly unveiled at the National Cold War Center Gala in November with information on exhibition plans, educational initiatives and more to be revealed in the coming months, the release stated.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT) – Registration is open for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s annual urban deer hunt.
This year’s hunts will be held in Cherokee Village, Fairfield Bay, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Horseshoe Bend and Russellville.
The archery-only hunts are designed to offer an “inexpensive and effective method of nuisance deer management,” according to an AGFC news release.
Deer harvested during the urban hunts do not count toward a hunter’s seasonal limit, and there are no limits to the number of deer that can be harvested.
However, the first deer taken must be donated to Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry, which provides ground meat to food pantries across the state.
Hunters must pass the International Bowhunters Education Program before participating. The program is available at www.agfc.com/education/hunter-education.
Hunters also must attend orientation to learn the specific rules of the hunts and pass a shooting proficiency test.

Latest Peppermint Hippo court filing alleges misconduct by Arkansas officials, asks for liquor license reinstatement
Video: Peppermint Hippo appeals liquor license revocation before Alcoholic Beverage Control board
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The latest court filing by a lawyer representing the Peppermint Hippo gentlemen’s club alleges misconduct by an Arkansas agency and its department head.
The filing asks that the club’s liquor license be reinstated pending judicial review of the January 2026 decision to revoke it. It alleges that Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Director Christy Bjornson “tainted the entire administrative proceedings.”
The filing alleges Bjornson had ex parte, or single-sided, conversations with Peter Riberiro about the death of his brother, John Riberiro. John Riberiro was killed in November 2021 after being ejected from the club and climbing a fence alongside Interstate 40, where he was hit by a car.
Peter Riberiro contacted ABC by email in February 2025, calling for the club’s license to be revoked. Bjornson replied to the email personally, and she and ABC Director of Enforcement David Potter then had a series of phone conferences with Peter Riberiro and his attorney through January 2026, ex parte communications since Peppermint Hippo representatives were not included, the filing alleges.
The filing also alleges that Bjornson acted with “extreme bias” in the club’s list of violations, including those that had previously been investigated and found unfounded. Bjornson determined the club was in violation, then looked for evidence substantiating her views, the filing alleges.
The state maintains, in a separate filing, that Bjornson’s communications were not ex parte under Arkansas law because she was acting as an administrator and the final decision was made by the ABC board, not her. Even if she was, the state’s filing continues, the decision to revoke was due to “substantial evidence and was neither arbitrary, capricious, nor an abuse of discretion.”
A hearing about the reinstatement is scheduled for Aug. 3 in Pulaski County Circuit Court.
