In 1866, F.H. Kuipers, a native of Akkrum, emigrated to the United States, where he became a wealthy businessman. During his annual visits to his father, he noticed the poverty of the village's elderly population. Therefore, he established a foundation with the goal of providing shelter and food to the village's poor. Coopersburg was built. (Kuiper had changed his name to Cooper in the United States.) It features a magnificent garden, a carp pond, a mausoleum, and a Regent's Room. This room can be visited upon request.

The monumental building opened in 1901 and was donated to the village by Folkert Kuipers. The young Akkrum native emigrated to America, opened what was then the world's largest department store in 1896, and became a multimillionaire. He witnessed the poverty in his native village and built Coopersburg. Twenty impoverished couples could live there free of charge and also received a weekly allowance of three guilders. At the time, this was roughly the same amount a police constable earned.
