Historical learning has been challenging for students due to passive learning and traditional teaching method. Even though it can be supported with site visits or field trips,  it is often limited by static signboards and brief explanations. This paper presents NusaAR, a location-based augmented reality (AR) mobile application designed to support historical learning through immersive, site-specific experiences. Using geolocation technology, AR hologram guides are activated when users reach designated locations, providing historical narratives, visual reconstructions, and micro-learning content. Besides that, gamified activities are integrated to promote engagement and active participation among students. Leveraging the widespread use of smartphones, NusaAR able to offers an accessible approach to extend learning beyond the classroom and into authentic historical environments which make the learning process more interactive, interesting and engaging .
