You can put something like this in your application_controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :store_history

private

  def store_history
    session[:history] ||= []
    session[:history].delete_at(0) if session[:history].size >= 5
    session[:history] << request.url
  end
end

Now it store the five latest url visited
