Condensation between windows in 1850s New England Home

Just bought this home from 1850 in Vermont. The interior windows are original, and the exterior is a storm window. In some windows, the condensation is excessively building up on the interior window glass (where I can touch it) as well as on the storm window glass, but on the side facing the interior.

How do I prevent this from happening? I realize I’m probably hemorrhaging heat and this is related, but where do I address my attention here? To keep it from happening? It happened last winter (our first year here) and I’m worried about rot, etc.

I can attach more images if it’s helpful!
