Welcome Hoarea:
Yes, you could remove the inside boards. The only thing is, if the walls were originally filled with sawdust (which is not too unusual in your area) you will sure have a mess on your hands to clean up.
I wold recommend removing the boards and replacing the insulation with a more modern version.
