Which state is Harper's Ferry in and why?

Harpers Ferry is in West Virginia. It was part of Virginia until the American Civil War and was notable for John Brown's raid - which was an act of treason against the United States but he was only tried for treason in Virginia - and for playing a key role in both of Lee's invasions of the North. When West Virginia was carved from the State of Virginia and accepted into the Union as a separate State during Abraham Lincoln's tenure as President it ceased being part of Virginia.
