In the Omaha Metro, most turn of the century homes don't have insulation in the exterior walls unless a company has come through and blown in Cellulose insulation.  To find out, simply remove an outlet or switch plate cover on an exterior wall and look.  If you don't see any insulation, there's your answer.  You can hire an insulation contractor to either drill holes through the siding or through the inside walls, they'll blown in the insulation, and plug the holes afterward.  Your utility bills will thank you greatly!
