The aim is to find out the role of teachers through learning local history and to find out the obstacles and efforts of teachers in preparing the Tangguh Generation. The method used is a qualitative method. The results of the study indicate that the history teacher acts as a guide who acts like a parent, assists, directs, and motivates students in learning local history. The role of the history teacher is as a stimulus for students' creativity by providing variations in local history learning to make it more interesting, acting as a seeker to enrich knowledge by constantly seeking local historical sources and as an authority.
