Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library announces gift from ryan to underwrite interactive Whistle Stop Tour exhibit. MEDORA, N.D. (June 15, 2026) - The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL) is proud to announce a significant new partnership with Ryan, a leading global tax services and software firm, to fully underwrite the Library's Whistle Stop Tour museum's interactive experience. As the capstone of the Library's Path to the Presidency gallery, the Whistle-Stop Photo recreates a renowned part of Roosevelt's 1903 tour to connect with Americans in 25 states across 14,000 miles in a specialized private railcar, the Elysian. The experience will provide attendees with the opportunity to build their own campaign platform and choose the issues and values they would have as pillars of their personal run for the presidency. Participants will step onto the back of a recreated train car as a simulated crowd cheers them on, and a camera captures their best presidential poses reminiscent of Roosevelt's famous whistle-stop campaign. Each participant will receive a memorable and shareable keepsake of their campaign. "G. Brint Ryan and the team at Ryan have given us something rare - the chance to put visitors inside the story, not just in front of it," said Edward F. O'Keefe, CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. "When you step onto that train car and feel the crowd cheering, you're not watching history. You're participating in it. That's exactly the kind of civic spark we hope every participant leaves Medora carrying with them. We're deeply grateful to Ryan for making this experience possible." Participants will see their campaign come to life, as their image and each of the unique campaign exposures are compiled into a 15-second video. By simply scanning their QR code in the gallery, the participant carries home a reminder of their experience. "Ryan is proud to support the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and the Whistle Stop Tour gallery," said G. Brint Ryan, Chairman and CEO at Ryan. "As we reflect on our country's 250th birthday, there has never been a more important time to ensure that we all 'get into the arena' and participate in our communities and democracy. These are values at Ryan and values President Roosevelt embodied." With the support of transformative corporate partners like Ryan, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will serve as a premier national hub for education, leadership and conservation. About the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

Chronis's journey at Ryan spans more than 27 years and reflects the strategic vision and client-first mindset that continue to define the Firm today. Joining Ryan in 1999 upon graduating from the University of New Mexico, Chronis began his career in the Sales and Use Tax practice and quickly established himself as a problem solver and trusted advisor. Over the years, he has played a pivotal role in building and expanding several of Ryan's industry-leading tax practices, including pioneering work in fuel tax exemptions and ticket excise tax strategies that have led to more than one billion dollars in tax savings. His leadership trajectory has been defined by a relentless focus on outcomes, with a leadership philosophy of "listen and learn first."

Travis first joined Ryan as an intern in 2002, holding roles in the Firm's Severance Tax practice from its earliest stages. After joining and ultimately leading EnerTax, he returned to Ryan in 2015 following the Firm's acquisition of the business, where he integrated and expanded one of Ryan's most successful specialty practices. Travis is known for his operational discipline, transparent and direct leadership style, and commitment to the next generation of tax professionals. His leadership approach - grounded in empowering high performers, relentless prioritization, and "giving good ideas a try" - has cultivated teams that consistently deliver strong client results while creating meaningful career opportunities across the Firm.
