About the Artwork
At the front of the church is the more than 170-year-old The Adoration of the Magi by German artist A. F. Muller. This twelve foot tall window was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, PA in 1876. It won a prize in the Fine Arts Exhibit of the Exposition and was purchased by Philip S. Millard’s father who was himself a stained glass artist. The window has been displayed on several occasions, but had no permanent home until it was installed in Reeves Memorial United Methodist Church in 1977 - more than 100 years after its creation. It had been discovered in sections under someone’s bed and was restored by Hauser Studios in Winona, Minn. The frame and lighting were designed by church members.
