The Rumah Batu Olak Kemang site in Seberang Kota Jambi has the potential to serve as a local history learning resource. This article examines how the site can support students’ historical awareness. It uses a qualitative descriptive approach based on document review. Relevant sources on the site, site-based history learning, cultural heritage education, and historical awareness were documented and grouped by theme. The review indicates that the site can support learning about local history, social and religious change, cultural acculturation reflected in its architecture, and heritage preservation. Learning activities may include pre-visit orientation, guided observation, ethical interviews, source verification, report writing, and reflection. These activities can help students interpret historical evidence, connect the past with the present, and develop responsibility for heritage preservation. Because this is a document-based review, it identifies educational potential rather than measuring learning outcomes. Implementation may be constrained by limited information, time, cost, transportation, and supervision. Cooperation among schools, site managers, local government, universities, and communities can support contextual and meaningful history learning.
