Each roll is independent of every other roll, so the probability of getting a $1$ on any given roll is $\frac{1}{6}$, and the probability of not getting a $1$ on any given roll is $\frac{5}{6}$. Since we are looking for a $1$ rolled three times and a number not $1$ rolled once, we have ${\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)}^3\cdot \frac{5}{6}$. Now, we have to consider the order of the rolls. The number that is not a $1$ could be rolled on the first, second, third, or fourth roll, so we multiply by four. Hence, the probability of rolling $1$ exactly three times is $4\cdot {\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)}^3\cdot \frac{5}{6}=\boxed{\frac{5}{324}}$.
