Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the use of local Islamic historical heritage in Seberang Kota Jambi as a historical learning medium with an experiential learning theory approach developed by David Kolb. Theoretical Framework: David Kolb's theory of experiential learning, emphasizes the learning cycle through direct experience, reflection, conceptualization, and active experimentation. Literature Review: This study may include studies of experiential learning theory, the importance of culturally context-based learning, as well as previous studies on the use of local cultural heritage in education. Method: The method applied is a qualitative descriptive approach with participatory observation techniques and in-depth interviews conducted at the As'ad Islamic Boarding School, involving teachers, students, and community leaders. Results: The results of the study show that the integration of historical artifacts such as ancient manuscripts, the Yellow Book, the tomb of scholars, and the old mosque building in the learning process creates a concrete and meaningful learning experience, while increasing student engagement, historical understanding, and cultural and spiritual awareness. Implications: these findings emphasize the importance of preserving local cultural heritage as part of the development of contextual learning methods that are relevant to students' lives. The novelty: of this study lies in the concrete integration between the historical heritage of local Islam and the theory of experiential learning in the context of pesantren education, which has not been raised much in previous studies.
